Dom Pedro V Theatre

Dom Pedro V Theatre - First Western Theatre in China

Dom Pedro V Theatre was built in 1860 and was the first venue in Asia to stage Puccini's iconic "Madame Butterfly". The theatre - built to commemorate King Dom Pedro V of Portugal - features a ballroom, library and snooker room for the entertainment of the glitterati. A public restaurant is attached. The theatre has a large entrance hall with elegant chandelier and sweeping red velvet curtains.

Nearby, you will find the cobble-stoned St. Augustine's Square, a traditional Portuguese-style streetscape surrounded by the World Heritage sites of St. Joseph's Seminary and Church, St. Augustine's Church and the Sir Robert Ho Tung Library.
